@rmartinez my comments here are in the public domain ;) feel free to copy them, I'm glad they were useful. I agree we all should do the same and write to the manufacturer support team.
Let's wait a little for Asus to answer, but if they don't or their answer is the same, I think it could be a good idea to create some website/blog (or better use Albert Vilella's blog on the subject if he wants) to give some advice to potential buyers that want to use linux on hybrid graphics laptops. Something like a list of manufacturers with the kind of support they have (BIOS settings, public specs, drivers, etc). That way people will have more information on what to buy (and what to NOT buy) if they want to use linux.
